This weekend marks the 11th annual South Beach Wine and Food Festival, and we're en route to check in on the scene as you read this. You may know that the festival offers an exciting mix of celebrity chefs, culinary demos, and of course, wine and food — but there's plenty more that goes on behind the scenes. We thought it'd be fun to offer a glimpse of the event by the numbers. Let's begin Read more
This weekend marks the anniversary of a special event, and we're not talking about the Oscars — we're headed to the 11th annual Food Network South Beach Wine and Food Festival! Last year, we heard insights from Jamie Oliver, discovered we'd been making cocktails all wrong, learned how to prep onions the Scott Conant way, and got in on Anne Burrell's secrets to making pasta. Stay tuned for more Read more
It's been raining incessantly in San Francisco, quite the departure from our stay in Florida, where we were in town for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. As a San Franciscan who'd never seen the staggering good looks of Miami Beach, I was more than happy to head back home to Fog City and be in my element. However, now more than a week later, I'm longing to be back there. The image that Read more
A caviar-topped cracker was one of the best things I ate at the tasting tents in South Beach; it tasted clean and sweet, and not at all fishy. Yet despite the steep price tag that comes with osetra caviar, there are still a number of people who are put off by the idea of eating fish eggs. Which camp do you fall in? Caviar: Love It or Hate It? Love it Hate it Undecided Read more
At his oil demonstration, while squeezing a lemon into a bowl of freshly cut avocado, Fabio Viviani said, "If you're afraid of seeds, I'm sorry." He didn't bother to pick out seeds that had fallen from the lemon into the avocado and pointed out that there's really no harm in consuming the seeds of citrus. Normally I'm nitpicky about getting seeds out of salads and such, but maybe from now on, Read more
You were with us for the seminars on grilled cheese and Nobu's nouveau Japanese, at the tents where we enjoyed seafood and spirits, and while we stuffed our faces at Rachael Ray's infamous hamburger marathon. But there was still so much to catch in between it all: Anne Burrell and Claire Robinson as an inseparable force at the Burger Bash, Giada dancing late into the night at the Cosmopolitan of Read more
For her cooking demonstration at South Beach, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef's Anne Burrell made pasta. Unfortunately, her demo was scheduled bright and early on Sunday morning and the hysterically inappropriate chef was nursing a headache with her ultimate hangover cure: Prosecco on ice. She managed to lead the crowd through the steps to making ravioli and shared some helpful pasta pointers along Read more
Top Chef Italian stallion Fabio Viviani was out and about at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. But he wasn't drinking too much wine or flirting with scantily clad females. Instead he was hard at working promoting a cause he stands fully behind: Bertolli olive oil. The chef has worked with the brand to create a product that is traditionally Italian, complete with three different cooking oils Read more
On the final day of the South Beach Food & Wine Festival, wine expert Joshua Wesson and Nobu Miami executive chef Thomas Buckley held a seminar of pairing wine with sushi, a fairly apropros way to end the celebration after four long days of indulging in burgers and grilled cheese. There, I sampled pairings like sashimi tacos with Alsatian Crémant, vegetable rolls with Greece's Moschofilero, Read more
We've learned a lot over the years from Laura Werlin, one of the country's foremost cheese experts. In fact, we can't get enough of her new grilled cheese book, which is packed with recipes like this one filled with mozzarella, crispy prosciutto, and broccoli rabe. So it's no surprise that during her seminar in South Beach, we had a front-row seat. Werlin's class was all about pairing grilled Read more
